Lucas, Joes Bid took a neck verdict over Sam Giammarcos All-A-Gift, who gained command briefly in the late stages but could not resist the winners late charge to the wire. Another length farther back Tilly Tane, who set the pace most of the journey but faltered when the real test came, finished third among the field of 12 starters.

Saturdays card here, the first week-end program presented at the meeting which opened on Monday, consists of nine races, instead of the usual eight offered during the other five days of the week. Post time for the first race will remain the same 2:30 p. m. Eastern Standard Time. Featured on Saturdays card is the Charles N. Hayes Concessionaire Purse, honoring the catering company which serves the patrons at this Grove City plant. Eight seasoned middle-distance runners are named overnight to vie for a purse of ,100 at one mile. The third race is also worthy of mention inasmuch as it carries a purse offering of ,200 and brings together a useful band of three-year-olds under allowance conditions. Comprising the field in the main attraction, which will be decided as the seventh race, are Mrs. F. Baumans Cardinal Lady, William Criglers Chips Floppy, Frank Hansers Naomi, C. W. Freemans Orphan Doc, Mrs. S. Sadovskys Lucky Dog, Fred N. Swaims La Shirl, George McFarlands Mad Cord and Mark Gooddards Billcella, Luck Dog is the only member of the field which has not started during the past week. Competing at six furlongs on Tuesday over a heavy strip, Chips Floppy turned in a good effort when second behind Frosty Acres. He had not started since last fall, and the outing should have brought him closer to peak form. In the same race Naomi finished fourth while La Shirl was far back in eleventh position. Billcella earned the top portion of a purse on opening day when competing at one and a sixteenth miles, and he should reign as one of the choices in this encounter. Billcella succeeded by leading from start to finish, holding a length advantage over Jungle Fire at the end. Although showers are predicted, the racing strip will probably not be seriously affected.
